Vijay Deverakonda Makes Explosive Comeback With Tharun Bhascker?

A reunion that feels overdue is quietly taking shape in Tollywood. The actor-director duo who redefined urban Telugu cinema with Pelli Choopulu might just be teaming up again and this time, the stakes are far higher.

The low-budget movie Pelli Choopulu, which became a cult favorite and took home a National Award, was the first significant hit for both Vijay Deverakonda and Tharun Bhascker. However, things have not been easy since then. Tharun's Keedaa Cola fell short of expectations, and Vijay's latest endeavors, such as Liger, failed to connect. With fans eager to see them bounce back, reports suggest a fresh collaboration is brewing under the title Benami, with Geetha Arts likely to bankroll it.

Word is that Tharun has crafted a story that plays to Vijay’s strengths raw attitude, real emotions, and rooted characters. The buzz points to a big-budget setup, aiming to blend storytelling with mass appeal. While there’s no official confirmation yet, insider talk says a formal announcement may drop soon.

If true, this comeback project isn’t just about nostalgia. It's about two talents who once changed the game trying to prove they still have the spark. And if Benami clicks, it won’t just revive memories of Pelli Choopulu it could reboot two careers in one shot.
